"Digging Deep explores South Africa's great mineral revolution - the lucky strikes and the struggles of prospecting in the late 1800s, the rushes to boom-and-bust towns in the Eastern Transvaal Goldfield, the dubious beginnings of the Witwatersrand, and the stories of the visionary men like Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Beit, Barney Barnato, Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, Sammy Marks and Hans Merensky who pioneered and shaped the industry on which modern South Africa was built. This epic retelling is the only single-volume account of how South Africa's gold, diamonds, platinum, coal and a host of other metals and minerals - the richest treasure trove ever discovered in one country - transformed a colonial backwater into the greatest industrialised power on the African continent."--
